Clippers Vs. Bulls Official Game Thread 2014-01-24 (P. 2)

6/8 is too much too ask, but this team needs to be at least 35-36%+ as a team on average. They are at 33.4%, ayy!

I do not think any team can shoot the 3 like this, even with the best 3 point shooters alive.

I agree with Agent0. Barnes is a big key four our success. He needs to be more consistent with his shot.

Nice play by Jamal but Hollins couldn't handle it. Great rebound by Turk!

Barnes has taken 84 three's, 5th most on the team, he's shooting 27%. If he shot an okay 34%, the team is scoring 0.7 more PPG. 7 more points every 10 games could mean one more win. It makes a difference!

This is not to mention his terrible finishing at the rim and poor FG% so far. If he normalizes to his career numbers, this team is scoring 1 more PPG basically. That can change games.

Clippers need to pad this lead as much as possible so the starters, especially DC, can rest up for tomorrow's back-to-back game.

A starter needs to return soon to help Jamal with the scoring load. Bulls struggling with their O right now. Need to keep pushing.

I wonder what Doc is gonna do with Darius Morris. Last day of his 10-day contract is tomorrow.

Carlos Gibson is keeping the Bulls in it. He has 20 of their 37 points.

I guess it was too much to ask for the second unit to pad the lead. Darn.

I actually expected him to be better. He's always been a better shooter and he didn't come in fat like Jackson

I guess Doc knows what he is doing. Minus the Mullens signing. He is still Mullen the fact that he did it. 8)

This is great and all. But I always worry about relying on hot shooting. I'd feel even better if we could break this open with transition baskets...

...nevermind.

Jamal is doing a better job playing as a PG than he did last season. Last season he would just come down and dribble, dribble, shoot. He's at least running the offense now. You won't mistake him for an actual set-up PG, but still, much better, at least tonight, lol

Yeah really due to those rebounds. I expect the Bulls to come out fighting in the 3rd. I hope we stay composed and keep playing sharp.

Cousins made the following comment about the Clippers and Chris Paul "It's just, some players I don't respect," Cousins said. "Just their playing style of basketball. I don't respect it. I feel like it's basically cheating and I don't respect a cheater. If that's your tactic to winning, I don't respect you."

Can someone explain why he would call Chris Paul a cheater? What in his mind does he think is cheating beating him?

Probably talking about Paul flopping except that Cousins is a pretty notorious flopper, so I don't know how he can be talking about someone else. Lol
